Eye took these from a two-seater ultralight while flying over my backyard. It took over ten years to protect most of the old growth sections of this forest from rampant logging.
Now that the Dunggirr (koala in the Gumbaynggirr dialect) National Park is linked to the much larger New England it has a chance of surviving.
Legions of unsung dreadlocked ferals and dedicated hippies were responsible for saving much of Australia's remnant rainforests and other forest.
Until they chained themselves to 'dozers and received criminal records for life he logging went ahead without any fauna or flora surveys.
Independent surveys by interested members of the public found SCORES of threatened, endangered, unknown and officially extinct species in places that were about to be decimated - and then burned.
Think globally, ACT locally - but get out there and DO IT! Ecosystems are only really saved by bods on the ground, regardless of how good the science is.
